Random dmb thoughts that don't need their own thread
 

I'm listing to 6/19/00 and I think it's a good show but damn there's a lot of Boyd skrees.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

:popcorn

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Just cought my typo on Listening

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Looks like someone is trying to have their thread making privileges revoked. Good luck with that.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I don't think it's that bad of an idea

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Nobody cares what you think

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Mentions Boyd's pubes

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Why such a prick?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

yea 6/19 and 6/20 are so damn good. i actually have a printed 6/20 set from the stage. been planning on framing it

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Being an annoyance to everyone is bartender_man's modus operandi. Don't take it personally

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Ok gotcha. Thanks.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Should this thread be locked?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

i think it is fine :)

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

skreeing machine. but at least then we had just Roi lighting it up, rather than rashawn/jeff/boyd

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Boyd on dancing nanacies is the worst I ever heard but that doesn't change the fact that 6/19/00 is great show. That's how good the rest of the band was back then.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

How/why hasn't Butch guested on even ONE song since he left in 2008? Really weird, IMO.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

The #1 most frustrating thing to me about this band is Monkey Man never being played live.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

+1 for monkey man. I also think management should interact with the fanbase more. Maybe even Dave could spare a few moments to find out what his fans want.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Boyd last year said dmb2sets would be a good opp to play it. What a joke haha.
Here's a link to the interview http://www.jambands.com/features/201...ions-with-bt?3

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I'm still surprised we got a show in Arkansas this year. I dunno how that happened.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

That's for true.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

It sold out so quick, maybe they should do more!

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Especially in a non album tour

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

i listened to the first show of the 2000 tour and there were a lot of flubs in the show honestly. its a great show but funny when people bitch that they are rusty during the most recent tours when in reality the past tours during the golden years were no different. just an interesting thing to point out.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

While true-them being rusty in 2000 still sounded really good, them rusty now=absolutely pathetic

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

:lol :lol as if Boyd even knows what MM is :lol :lol
It's frustrating, but Stone > SMLAM Gorge n3 is, simply, way more frustrating than why an average song hasn't been played
:lol Dave? Dave.... Matthews? Good luck.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Monkey Man is an average song? Well there's an awful opinion. :eiffeltower

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Id rather take a rusty 2000 show than a perfect 2014 show.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Agreed :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

MM is an average song. It would get stale really fast if it was in regular rotation. That being said, I'd love to catch it live at least once.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Absolutely

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I've never been a fan of MM either....

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I disagree completely. That 12-string guitar riff, the vocal melodies/ delivery, Roi's sax fills, the lyrics.. Just perfect. I wouldn't even want them to revisit it in the studio because the Lillywhite version is perfection. Big Whiskey is average. Everyday is average. Monkey Man? Frankly I'd rank it up there with The Stone and Dreaming Tree.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

yeah I've never loved Monkey Man as such as most seem to, prob my least favorite tLWS song.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I get a lot of people really like it and that's great but alongside Stone and Dreaming Tree :lol

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Easily. Sincerely I do. Obviously the production is objectively less polished than anything from Before These Crowded Streets, but I truly think the band reached an artistic height with Monkey Man. If it doesn't "click" with some people for whatever reason, fine, but to say it's only average and would get stale if played live? I just disagree.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Do you put Monkey Man over LWS versions of Captain and Bartender? Because those are the real two that stand out for me from those sessions.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I would put it on the same tier as those two, and I agree they are stand-outs on the album. Particularly LWS Captain, which is exponentially superior to it's Busted Stuff counterpart. Not really sure what happened there. IMO Busted Stuff's Bartender is really good, but it does lack a certain quality that the LWS version had. Damn this band used to be amazing.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Definitely. In fact, the two best recordings from the LWS are JTR and Monkey Man. Both sound nearly finished, IMO. Band is tight, recording is great, Dave's lyrics are clear and concise, and Dave doesn't sound like he wants to kill himself (like he does on Captain).

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

tLWS Captain is my favorite thing this band has done in a studio session.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

so much wrong with this.

everyday is way below average.

BW is above average.

Monkey man is right smack in the middle. Average DMB. Not their best, not their worst. Just average. Decent.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

So by that logic you're saying songs like Shake Me, Seven, You & Me, Funny The Way It Is, Time Bomb, Etc. are better than Monkey Man? :rolleyes I'm sorry the song hasn't clicked with you, maybe someday it will. But saying Monkey Man is but an average/ decent song, inferior to Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King, is i believe a false statement.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Monkey Man is waaaaayyyyyyyyyy above average.

/Thread

or rather: next random thought

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Will last stop make a return this summer?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

God I hope so. It's so overdue.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Most likely not. I predict that these songs will be liberated this year:

Dive In
The Maker


After last year, I can't see too much going on this year. Some new song debuts and a couple returns are all I can see happening.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I think a lot are forgetting that the Monkey Man that ended up on tLWS was the earliest stages of the song. Who knows what it sounded like later on, but reports from the sessions say it changed a lot.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Random thought: The fact that Boyd had to re-record his Lie In Our Graves solo on Live In Chicago sours the performance for me and I rarely listen to it because of this.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

These would be good returns, Broken Things needs a few plays as well.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Absolutely :thumbsup It needs more than a few plays.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Doubt it

I don't think this photo is from 2013 like they claim it is looks more like 2007

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Yeah, definitely not 2013. Butch is on stage.

Looks like 2006/2007 to me too.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I love the comments :lol

"I thought this looked familiar - I was there!"

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

How could these people on Instagram be so stupid. I swear dmb family people are air heads sometimes they piss me off. :BANG:BANG

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Build you a house > monkey man

Thats funny because I actually fast forward over his solo in that version of the song because I love Tims solo in that version, I wish Tim still played that way in this day and age and that Boyd was on top of his game all the time

As for Monkey Man, its neat that we actually get yo hear it but its not that great of a song def better than most BW songs and far from the stone or anything BTCS

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

.... Is that Roi? :ugh :freak

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

2013 :lol that's hilarious. Gotta love the warehouse

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

lol roi and the 914 in 2013? shitty ass waarehouse

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

We know the band better than the warehouse does haha :thumbsup

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Seriously though. Am I seeing things? Looks like roi. He's in the shadows, may be Jeff. But it sure looks like Roi to me.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Considering butch is sitting over there it's probably roi

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Well, it is Roi. Butch is on the stage too.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Damn, beat me to it

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

New random thought: I would greatly appreciate it if anybody that went to 7/13/03 or 7/27/04 post a picture From one of these shows because they were my first two shows and I don't have a single picture.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I've been trying to find pics from my first show in Little Rock (2003) but haven't had any luck either. I lost my camera at that show. :lol

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Probably why you can't find the pictures.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Wow, Typical Situation from Mexico is great. Hope the "she stands, a tear falls from her chin..." intro sticks around (if Dave decides to play it.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Forgot to link it.

http://youtu.be/A37JkVG32SY

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Pics that other people took, not my own pics.

Obviously those are lost. But it seems like no one else took any pics at all. Even our local news used an old stock photo :lol

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

He just keeps almost singing Nancies. Don't give him too much credit.
I was kidding.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

It's an intro he used to do all the time in the 90s and early 00s.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I was kidding.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

When was the last time it happened befor the Mexico show?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Definitely before Leroi passed. I think 2006.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I know :lol

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

cigarette lit is awesome

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I know back in that timeframe (03-06) either the DMB official site or the Warehouse would post a bunch of pictures from each show - including a couple crowd shots, usually - I remember being able to pick myself out in the crowd in a pic taken from the back of the 100 level at Darien Lake in 2004. It would sometimes take a week or two for them to get the pics up, but they always did.

However, I checked some past show listings on the DMB site and each one says there are 0 pictures available, and on the Warehouse I don't see any photo link when you go to "Backstage" and look at a setlist from that era, so they may be gone now :( (Or hidden somewhere on their filesystem...)

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

You're awesome, ajc.

Gonna throw a Guinness cupcake at you in Bristow.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

aw, thanks pal

you'll have to come to the tailgate to do so though :cool

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Kit Kat Jam needs to come back this year. It sounded awesome in 2013.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Disagree on MM being almost finished. Boyd isn't even on the track. JTR sounds finished. So does Diggin' a Ditch and BEF.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I've never heard I Did It in nearly 50 shows (first show was in 2002), and I would love to hear it this summer.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I got it at Camden in 10' and it sounded awesome. Id love for it to come back.

I want ynk at Bristow again this year. last years was so badass.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Yeah we're coming. I think we're on the excel, right? Sean & Amber?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I thought your name was socopithy?

To get back on topic, sweet up and down please

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I got it at the tour opener in Hartford, as well JTR, Busted Stuff, Hello Again, Break For It, and Sweet Up And Down. Damn, what a weekend that was.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Would like Break Free to come back, it's been a while

Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Agreed. Break Free is such a good song when it's played like it was in '06. Rashawn does great work on that song. Top 25 for me honestly

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Immediately thought of this.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Interesting, I immediately thought of this

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

God, please no.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Come on, it would be awesome. Just think of the roar from the crowd as Boyd sings his part, showing him support in his recent legal battles! It'll be great.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

I Did It. :lol :lol :lol What a joke.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

This idea needs to be posed to the #Family as a serious idea.

Upon Boyd completing his first solo of the regular season, applaud and cheer like lunatics.

Was it a great solo? Do we love Narnia? Just take it, Tinz.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Hmmm... does what?

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Hahah what a mess

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

Last Stop
YNK
KKJ
Break Free
Kill the King
Crazy Easy need to be in regular rotation.

Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need its own thread
 

lithog needs to make a roaring comeback.
